Part 25     - Jane  21:05 Saturday evening

There was a thump from the speakers as the stage microphone was picked up.  “And now it’s time for our main Auction which I’m sure you’ve all been waiting for.”  There were female whoops and whistles from the audience.   Jane noticed that many of the seats beside members of the Sisterhood were vacant.  Some were even empty at their own table.   Surely they couldn’t all be in the Men’s Room.   Who knew what they might be getting up to.   But first we’ll have our Best in Show competition.  We’ll start with the first of the Gs in our GALA.   Here are our Gimps.”

About eight or nine leatherboys in a mix of biker boots, platform biker boots and one or two in high heeled knee length boots entered in the stage in a line.  They wore numbers on their backs and their right thighs.   Although one or two looked sheepish, most seemed confident and gave a little twirl, a few even gave a wave to the crowd. “As usual we’ll start with the prize competition.   Please place your votes now.  Press the appropriate number on your terminal.”  A digital display at the back of the stage flashed into life.   “And the winner is Leroy with runner-up Ashton.  And that’s the third year in a row that Leroy has won.  Congratulations Lady Dixon on having both the first and second place.   Sadly Aly you only win one bottle of champagne.  All prizes will be delivered to the winner’s table.”

Jane drummed her fingers on the table.   ‘Where is Andy?’ she thought to herself.  ‘What’s keeping him?’   It was at least twenty minutes since Andy had asked to go to the toilet.   It was obviously going to take him some time given the unwrapping and wrapping required but surely not this long. Jane was worried that they might miss the start of the dancing.  She was disappointed that she hadn’t yet seen a band set up on stage.   She hoped it wasn’t just going to be a disco.   A live band was so much better.   And there didn’t seem to be much space in front of the stage either so the dancing area was going to be small.   Best to find a space and stake a claim early.  

“Now we’ll start the auction. Remember cash or debit only.   The maids will come round to collect payment.   You will be able to collect your prize from the service area to the rear of the hotel at the end of the Gala.   For those staying in the hotel, you can ask for your prize to be delivered to your room.    We’ll start with our lowest ranked.   Stand forward Number 6.”  One of the shyer gimps stepped to the front of the stage.    “This time you need to use the numbers on the keypad of your terminal to place a bid.   The highest three bids will show up on the digital display at the back of the stage.  Aunt Jane watched as numbers started to flash.  There were only a couple of bids, one of £40, the other of £60.  “Well that’s disappointing. But we need to move on.”

As the auction progressed.   Jane waited first with impatience and then with concern.  Andy still hadn’t returned from his trip to the Ladies.   Jane was astonished to see the prices being bid for some of the higher placed gimps and the great applause when Leroy went for £1900 to Mistress Plug, who’d already bid £1700 for the second placed.   As Leroy left the stage, Jane looked at her watch.   While four or five attractive girls entered the stage in a variety of costumes and masks, Jane rose from her table.   “And now we come to our Ladettes,” the announcer boomed from the speakers while Jane looked around anxiously.   Where was that boy?
